I think it was a good idea who's time had passed. Not many parents would be happy allowing their kids to roam the streets nowadays, particularly with the aim of entering houses. There are probably a whole raft of insurance and health and safety concerns too.

Mind you, I'm only guessing. My lad would rather kick a ball around than do scout stuff and so I don't know the real reasons.

That's probably more to the point - they've found other ways of raising money. My casual observations don't suggest that the scouts are any more flush with money than they've ever been.

They found out it is much easier to get their dad to cook 700 sausages and sell them!

It was like slave labour I tell ya!:D

The amount of work we had to do for a bob was incredible!

One old lady had two of us trapped in her garden weeding for ages!

One old lady had two of us trapped in her garden weeding for ages!She must have moved to Adelaide later in life. My brother and I weeded a 1/4 acre property, mowed, raked (no catchers in those days) and shovelled the edges for, wait for it - 2 bob.

Then we got in trouble because the Scout master didn't believe we hadn't pocketed some :(. Smart alec actually took us to the house and asked her what she paid us and how long we were there. The sod didn't even apologise :((

:? Now what is it that has caused you to be doing the BBQ you should be there supervising the kids should be cooking.


Had similar Groggy 2 of us 4 hrs cleaning an old normal size back yard ended up with the stack out the front of rubbish so high we couldn't see over it all for 40c.:~

But wouldn't it at our ages now to be able to have someone come around and do that sort of clean up for 20c :D:D

We wonder why kids don't have experience these days.

Bosses used to and I think they still do look for such activities as these in resumes.
